:04:01
Close!
:04:05
Not only can they run like blazes,
but they can also scale these sharp rocks...
:04:09
...like it's going out of fashion.
:04:11
This is his territory.
:04:13
Up there he'll have
a couple good-looking Sheilas...
:04:17
...just waiting for him.
:04:30
He gave me the slip. That's all right.
:04:32
Have a look at this!
:04:34
Poo! Perentie poo!
:04:36
What a beauty!
:04:39
That's some good perentie poo.
It can tell me a lot about the animal.
:04:43
What we've got in here is pig's ear...
:04:46
...snake skin...
:04:47
...a little bit of lizard skin.
:04:49
And check this out!
:04:52
A lizard claw!
:04:54
From another lizard.
:04:55
The perentie is the master.
:04:58
He sits up here in the escarpment,
watching from his nice cool tunnel.
:05:03
Watching. Waiting. Sees a bit of movement.
:05:05
They can spot movement from 300 meters away!
:05:08
Way down there in the sand dunes.
Spots it. Goes down. Waits.
:05:12
Runs out! Strikes! Lacerates!
:05:15
Then swallows it whole and comes back
up here into its cool retreat.
:05:18
This is really important.
I'm going to save it for later.
:05:25
We're here in the outback
on a field study trip for the zoo...
:05:28
...hoping to find some of Australia's
more unlovable creatures for research.
:05:32
Here's your poo, mate.
:05:34
We're heading for snake country!
:05:36
Australia is home
to the most venomous snakes in the world.
:05:39
And with a bit of luck, we'll find some.
:05:42
Okay, Sui, in the truck.
:05:46
This is going to be a great adventure!
You all right, mate?
:05:52
You never know what's out there.
